Hi,
If X appeared, it sounds like an encouraging start. It is definitely worth
giving us that error because it may be something unrelated to the initial
hardware side of things.
Let us know what it is....

Hello,
Did you received this last mail (see bottom)?
I tried some other things...
First I add "true" in the Option "UseFBDev" line that I forgot.
Then I tried with fbdev module from xserver-xfree86 sid package (a 4.2 I
think)...I saw a stable X screen dring 1 second...before X shut with
error of dependency (I don't have the error log here)...
So anyway...I you don't have time to answer me, maybe you know a good
web page about this problem? a tutorial...?
Thank you very much,
Have a nice evening...
